[QUOTE="gemini555, post: 327105, member: 27253"] Yes..this is my first flash....I was a bit apprehensive about getting it but I have read good things...and the price point is unbeatable....Here is my short review 1. Considering this is my first flash, I did not have a reference point. The build quality seems good....infact its very good....I mounted it on my softbox stand. it was standing 6 feet tall when the wind catches the softbox and the stand falls smack on the flash. So basically, the flash took a 6 feet fall with the weight of the stand on it. The red cover broke exposing the light, but the flash works great....all the functions are intact. The body got scratched up a little....so full marks for build quality!! 2. The batt compartment is weirdly placed, but nothing I cant live it...the batt door needs to be closed with care 3. The power seems good on the flash. I have read thats its about 3/10 stops underpowered, and although its true, its not something you can't correct by increasing the flash output...I have posted pics below 4. Optical slave can be a pain in broad sunlight (works like a charm indoors, but outdoors in sunlight is unreliable). obviously this is not a flash specific issue. Its an optical sensor handicap...I ordered the yn 622n triggers which should solve this problem I am happy with this purchase..infact I ordered another Yongnuo flash (560III) for the Nikon...an excellent Manual HSS capable flash...the best part..its $70..beat that...review here ([URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYkHSfmNRpQ[/URL]) Sample pics below using the 568ex .
